Republic Commando: Violet Squad: Mission Zero

Summary: A Special Clone Commando Team Is About To Embark on their first mission - Do They Have What It Takes To Survive?

Mission Zero

0700 Hours - Violet Squad Is
Called upon to carry out a dangerous mission on the planet of Nelvaan, a cold
and frigid planet. Little do they know, that the Droids wait for them…

RC-2156 tossed the holo-projector onto the floor of the Republic
Gunship. Their Advisor appeared. “Violet Squad. You are on you’re way to a very
cold planet. We have received reports from the locals, that General Grievous is
on the ground and organizing an assault on the many Villages.”

“Considering that this planet has held no allegiance to either us or
the CIS, I must remind you that this is a covert insertion. You must be
careful! We have been warned by the Nelveenians that if either side steps foot
on their planet that they will attack., to defend their planet.”

56 nodded. “Roger that. What is our orders?” The advisor nodded his
head. “You are to confirm that Grievous is indeed on the planet. Once you have
completed that objective, you will then proceed to destroy their stock piles of
weapons. Without weapons, they can not attack. Repeat, this must be done
quietly. We don’t want two wars on our hands.”

RC-2445 chuckled to himself. “That, would be fun.”

The advisor ignored him. “To start, you’re going to have to repel down
the mountain. The Separatist base is just a few klicks North from you’re
position. Good luck.” 45 looked around at all of us. His hidden gaze stopped on
RC-2367. “Fetch, you think you can handle repelling or do you just want to let
me handle this one?”

“I can handle it.” 67 replied, sarcastically. “Besides. Your just
jealous because of all the kills I got on the last mission.”

“Hey, Ner Vod, You only got lucky with that sniper attachment of
yours! That’s the only reason you got 100 kills and I only got 99...”

56 stood and readied his harness. “Time to go, Violets.” I stood and
nodded. “Copy that Xor. Harness ready!” The Gunship hovered as Xor and I
repelled down to the snow cover ground. A few seconds later 45 and 67 arrived.
“All right squad,” said Xor, “The base is to the north. So lets move it out!”

“Gee Xor, don’t get your overalls in a bunch…”

We started our repel down the mountain. “Gee, good thing we have a temp
setting for our armor.” muttered 45. I snickered behind my helmet. “Doesn’t
matter with you Phyro. Your coldhearted anyway.” Phyro looked at me. “This
coming from a guy whose in third place with the most number of kills…”

“Shut it you two!” We looked up to see Xor looking at us. “Got it
boss.”

I zoomed my visor in on the enemy camp. Sure enough. Lots of weapons.
Lots of droids. Battle
droids. Hundreds of them. “Fierfek…” I murmured. “Copy that…” replied Fetch.
“The place is loaded with kills!” Phyro chuckled. “Yea, and they’re all mine!”
Fetch shook his head. “Rule number 78. Whom ever is in the lead, gets the first
shot.” Xor looked at us. “That’s not a rule!” He replied.

Though we didn’t know it, he was smirking behind his helmet. “Time to
roll out the big guns!” Xor said.

Phyro took out some EC detonators. “Those… are the big guns sir?” Fetch
asked. I chuckled. “These things will take out 60 percent of those droids.”
Phyro replied. “Ah. At least you leave me 40 percent.”

Xor pressed a button on his wrist computer. A few seconds later:
“Confirmed. Violet Squad, Continue with your mission. Destroy those weapons!”

“Roger that advisor.” Xor turned to us.

“Alright squad, We’ve got a mission to complete! Lets move it out!”

We carefully made our way down toward the enemy encampment. We stopped
behind a few large boulders. “Alright. Phyro, ready your charges. Fetch,
prepare your sniper attachment. Nemesis. Your with me.”

We all nodded and proceeded with our tasks. I followed Xor back to a
nearby tree. He pointed to the blast door that lead into the base. “I want you
to set a trap there.” I nodded. “Got it, sir.” I made my way down and into the
camp, careful not to make any noise.

I crouched behind a crate and peered around the corner. Clear. I ran
over to the blast door and took out two charges. “Freeze.” said an electronic
voice. I closed my eyes behind my helmet. Fierfek.

“Violets. I’ve got a problem.” I said. I wasn’t worried about the droid
hearing me, because it couldn’t. It was a SRC, or Short Range Communication.
Only the squad could hear me.

“Go! Blast! Go!” Yelled Xor. I heard the BD behind go out of commission
with a “Uh!”. I smacked the charges on the door and pressed the arming buttons
in 2 seconds. I rolled to my right and got to cover.

Blaster fire erupted.

Fetch focused on the BD behind Nemesis. “This is going to be number 503
for me…” he murmured to himself. Then came the signal. “Go! Blast! Go!” Yelled
Xor. Fetch pulled the trigger and the BD went down smoothly. “Hehe…” He moved
his scope and focused on 5 more droids as they turned to the dead droid.
“Uh-oh.” One of them said. “Open fire! Commandos!” another said. “Yeehaa!”
Fetch screamed through his comm, as he pulled the trigger four more times
before reloading and finishing off the fifth droid.Phyro was calm and collected. He always was when he was “In the Zone”
of combat and danger. He watched Fetch was he aimed at the droid. He was
anxiously awaiting the signal…

“Go! Blast! Go!” Yelled Xor. “Bout time!” He said aloud through the
Comm, and took off running. He rolled forward and put a charge on the first
weapons pile. He brought up his DeeCee and blasted 2 BDs and moved to the next
pile. He quickly placed a charge on that one as well and turned. A BD stood in
his way. He quickly slammed it in it’s chest. “Hehe…”

He ran to the third pile and placed a charge on this one when suddenly,
a blast hit his from behind. It cut through his shield and he went down.

Xor had tossed a thermal into a crowd of BDs when he heard Phyro go
down. “Damn it Squad.” He muttered. He ran over to revive Phyro when suddenly a
metal foot slammed down In front of him. He looked up. A magna guard. “So you
want to play do you?” He brought up his arm and jammed his Vibroblade into the
droids face. It back flipped and fired a rocket.

“Damn!”

The blast knocked Xor to the ground. The magna guard flipped in the air
over head and ran off. Xor stood and looked around, DeeCee ready. “Squad. We
have Maggies…”

Xor revived Phyro and he stood up. “Ready to go sir?” I ran up.
“RC-2375, ready to rock the place!” Fetch ran over as well. “Sir…” He said out
of breath. “What is it commando?” Xor said, turning to him.

“I’ve lost track of my kills…” Phyro made a face. “Damn…” he muttered.
“He beat me…”

“Let move! Extract point is 5 meters over that hill…” Xor waved to his
squad to follow.

They took off through the snow for the extraction point. They had gone
2 meters before they ran into a road block. “Blast…more droids.” And it was. At
least 2 and a half dozen droids had gathered nearby. “Advisor we’ve got a
problem. Droids has stationed themselves near our E.P.”

“Copy. Hold on while I look for another path.”

I used my visor and zoomed in one the droids. It was a pack of Battle, Destroyer, and
Super Battle Droids. Suddenly something explodes. “What was that?!” the advisor
exclaimed. Phyro jumped up and zoomed in with his visor. “We’ve got
Nelveenians!”

“Damn.”

“Damn is right 56. The Nelveenians found the CIS. Don’t let them see
you. Repeat do not engages. Stay back and stay hidden!”

“Copy.” Xor turned to us. “Time to go camo.”

Fetch chuckled. “My favorite.” I quickly blinked at something on my
visor. I couldn’t feel it, but I had just gone into camouflage with the
terrain. “Let’s move. 75. Take point.”

I nodded and took off ahead of the squad. The small battle was over
before it had began. The Nelveenians had much more powerful weapons compared to
the blasters and cannons that the droids carried.

After they had destroyed the droids, the Nelveenians took off back to
their village, leaving it clear for Violet Squad. “It’s clear boys and girls.”

Phyro replied, “Who are you calling a girl?” I just chuckled. “If I was
calling you a girl 45, I wouldn’t be waiting for you to catch up to me…”

I quickly switched my AA attachment and watched as the craft did a ‘U’
maneuver and came back around.

“Do we have a lock yet?” I shook my head and answered. “Neg.”

“Come on…” Phyro muttered.

“Lock!”

“Take! Take!”

An Explosion and the craft slammed down to the ground nearby. A
chuckled came from Phyro. “That was fun…”

Suddenly something scorched the snow by my leg. I quickly looked up.
“Blast! 56, we’ve got droids!” I screamed, opening fire with an AA round onto
the small group of BDs. A sniper shot whizzed by me and knocked a droid to the
ground. It open fire on the sky.

“Where the hell is that gunship?”

“Where the hell is Phyro?”

Suddenly there was a loud bang and a large flash of blue electricity.
“Found him. He’s in the middle of it. Watch your AA fire!”

I aimed at a droid and blasted it. “Scrap pile rejects!” Phyro
muttered.

A droid turned it’s back to shoot at Fetch. I ran up and jammed my
Vibroblade into it. It made a cracking sounds and a slight Uh! Sound as it fell
over.

“Come on---”

“Violet Squad this is gunship oh-seven-niner. Do you copy?” Xor looked
up. “Copy this is RC-2156, Violet Squad Leader. We read you…”

“56, what in bloody blazes is going on down there?!”

“CIS. What else do you want to know?”

“Who the hell has AA rounds. Cause I’m taking fire!”

“Squad, do you read that?”

“It’s ain’t us boss!”

“Dammit!” Suddenly an explosion came from the west We all looked. The
gunship - our only exit of this freezing planet - had just been shot down.

“Fierfek!”

“Boss…”

“Blast!”

“Uh-Sir…”

Suddenly a large dropship flew in. “Look out!”

“It’s a Trandoshan dropship! Ready your weapons!” I quickly switched to
my blaster attachment and took aim, waiting for Trandoshans to start falling
from the sky. “Well that’s just bloody great!”

We all ran up and followed Xor, whom lead us back down the hill.
“Alright squad…”

“Sir?”

“No plan survives contact with the enemy. Remember that and you’ll all
be fine.”

“Copy.”

“Sir!”

“What is it Fetch?”

“I’ve got multiply targets on radar!”

“Damn it!”

“Alright… Calm down..”

“Let’s move!”

“Where to sir?”

“The Nelveenians airbase. We’re going to steal a ride out of here!”

Phyro chuckled. “That’s what I’m talking about! Common sense!”

We crouched down as Xor brought up the map of the Nelveenians airbase.
“If we come from the east, there won’t be any guards. At least… Not until we
blow a hole through their walls…”

“Sounds like fun…” Phyro chuckled. Xor gave him a crazy sign.

“Either way… they know we’re here…”

“Good.” Phyro said flatly. “I’d prefer a fair fight to all this
sneaking around.”

Fetch glanced his way. Though no one could see his face, we all know
what he was thinking. Shut up.

“Do we have enough explosives to hit em from both east and west?” Xor
asked.

“Sure… but we’re going to have to shift it when we blow it…” Xor
nodded.

“Ok. Here’s the plan. 75 and 67, you two will come from the east.
You’ll blow a hole here.” He pointed at a large wall on the map. “45 and I will
take em from the west. This’ll make em divide their forces.”

“Either that or they take one team out at a time.”

“Their Nelveenians. Their not Womp rats…”

“Shut up and listen…” Xor said, waving his hands at us. “We’ll have to
move it into light speed gear once we all blow these holes. They’ll be all over
us. The airbase is located here. At least a half a block away from the walls.”
He indicated yet another point on the map.

“Let’s do this.”

Me and Fetch had reached the wall without any sign of being spotted. I
took out the Det pack and placed it on the wall. “Alright… We’re in position.”

“Copy. Be ready…”

I nodded to Fetch, who took out the detonator.

“Ready…”

“Blow and go!”

“Fierfek!”

Fetch pressed the button and the ground shook and my comm went static.
It came back seconds later. It was quiet. I waved to Fetch who was on my butt.
“Go Go!” We went in low blaster’s ready. It was all clear. “Proceed to
airbase!” Xor said into the comm.

I waved at Fetch and pointed ahead. “Time to go catch a ride.”

He ran over and nodded. I lead the way down the ally way toward the
airbase. “Dammit!”

“Sorry sir? I didn’t catch that…”

“Their on us! Watch your back!”

“Copy.” We began to run for the airbase when suddenly 4 Nelveenians
jumped out in front of us. We open fired. They all fell. “What’s your status
Violets?”

Fetch answered. “Ambushed but still kicking!”

Suddenly I slammed into the ground, helmet first. “Fierfek!” I leaped
up, throwing a Nelveenian off my back. It leaped back and snarled. Fetch came
up behind it and jammed it’s neck full of his Vibroblade. “Stay down!”

This is undoubtedly one of the best books written on here. I actually unistalled this app until someone told me about this story. I came back not expecting much, just to be drawn into the story and the characters. I would buy this book in real life, as long as another was promised shortly after.

Jason Phang:
I'm pretty new to Inkitt (this is only my 4th book) and I must say I've been thoroughly impressed by the quality of the authors here. Remnants of Chaos is an excellently written book that hooks the reader, and doesn't let go. There are some grammatical and typographical errors, but nothing too se...

Hawkebat:
Playing both Kotor I & II and Swtor I found the story line interesting and it held me until chapter 35 Very good story and plot flow until then, very few technical errors. I felt that the main character was a bit under and over powered, as it fought for balance. The last few chapters felt too f...

Catherine Kopf:

Schaelz:
I was intrigued from the second I started reading, and it kept my interest the whole way through. Chelsea has a way with words that will enchant you until the very end. She is very poetic with the way she mixes genres and keeps you on the edge of your seat. The main character is also very relat...

borkarprasad:
Nicely laid story. Needed a little more ghost and Raven conversations. Initially, Had everyone on suspect list but satisfied by the precision to capture the killer. Waiting for more Raven and Cade adventures.

debmart6901:
I could not put this story down. I stayed up reading when I should have been in bed. could not get enough, could not wait to find how it ended. Great story telling. Great detail. Loved it. The characters were very vivid.

Jasmine Chow:
As I read this story, I was reminded some what of Terry Pratchett, especially some descriptions of politics and economics. The sci-fic setting is quite intriguing. Writing style is quite lovely and grew on me slowly. I was also slightly reminded of Mark Twain, especially his book A Connecticut Ya...

Pablo Rojas:
Love the story, at the end it is a western story, simple, yet giving hints and pieces of the situation that is happening all over ravencroft´s universe. easy to read and always keeping with the main stream story I want to keep reading about, Olafson´s adventures.

Nichole P. Conard:
The characters are well created and pull you along through the story. The plot is well thought out, with some interesting turns.

This story is not something I would normally pick up and read but I'm so glad I did, I wasn't able to put it down and my husband was yelling at me at 3am to put it down and go to bed (just waited for him to doze back off before picking it back up)I really hope Natalie brings out another book eith...
